Command Usage

The encrypted password is required for compatibility with legacy
password settings (i.e., plain text or encrypted) when reading the
configuration file during system bootup or when downloading the
configuration file from a TFTP server. There is no need for you to
manually configure encrypted passwords.

Example
This example shows how to set the access level and password for a user.

After initially logging onto the system, you should set the Privileged Exec
password. Remember to record it in a safe place. This command controls
access to the Privileged Exec level from the Normal Exec level. Use the no
form to reset the default password.
